- Given a directed graph with positive edge lengths (weights) and two distinct vertices u and v in the graph, the “all-pairs u-constrained v-avoiding shortest path problem” is the problem of computing for each pair of vertices i and j the length of the shortest path from i to j that goes through the vertex u and avoids vertex v. If no such path exists, the answer is ∞. Describe an algorithm that takes a graph G = (V, E) and vertices u and v as input parameters and computes values L(i,j) that represent the length of u-constrained v-avoiding shortest path from i to j for all 1 ≤ i, j ≤ |V |, i ̸= u, j ̸= u, i ̸= v, j ̸= v. Prove your algorithm correct. Your algorithm must have running time in O(|V |2). Detailed pseudocode is required.arrow_forwardProvide evidence that the modified version of the choice problem has an NP-complete solution; Exists, given a graph G and a target cost c, a spanning tree in which the highest possible payment at any vertex does not exceed the target cost?arrow_forwardProblem 4: Consider the connected simple graph G given below. k Graph G 1. Use depth-first search to produce a spanning tree for the simple graph G. Choose vertex a as the root of this spanning tree. You must show how the spanning tree is constructed step by step as you add vertices and edges. Otherwise, your answer is wrong. Show your work step by step. 2. Use breadth-first search to produce a spanning tree for the simple graph G. Choose vertex a as the root of this spanning tree and assume that all vertices are ordered alphabetically. You must show how the spanning tree is constructed step by step as you add vertices and edges. Otherwise, your answer is wrong. Show your work step by step. 3.

- Given: graph G, find the smallest integer k such that the vertex set V of G contains a set A consisting of k elements satisfying the condition: for each edge of G at least one of its ends is in A. The size of the problem is the number n of vertices in G. Please help answer problems 3 & 4 from the given information. 3. Find an instance for which the suggested greedy algorithm gives an erroneous answer. 4. Suggest a (straightforward) algorithm which solves the problem correctly.arrow_forwardI need a proof as a solution for both of these questions.arrow_forwardProblem 2. Use Bellman-Ford to determine the shortest paths from vertex s to all other vertices in this graph. Afterwards, indicate to which vertices s has a well defined shortest path, and which do not by indicating the distance as -o∞. Draw the resulting shortest path tree containing the vertices with well defined shortest paths. For consistency, you should relax the edges in the following order: s → a, s → b, a → c, b → a, b → d, c → b, с — а, с —е, d — f, e — d and f — e. — а, b, а — с, b — а, b — d, с — b, → d and f -→e. a -1 3 5 -2 -5 S 4 4 10 6 b d f -10 -6arrow_forward
- Question 8. A connected graph G has 4 vertices and 4 edges of costs 1, 2, 3 and respectively 4. (a) Show that G is not a tree. (b) Show that G has a single minimum spanning tree. (Hint: For example, think how Prim's algorithm constructs the minimum spanning tree). (c) Draw a connected graph G with 4 nodes and 4 edges of costs 1, 2, 3, 4, respectively, so that the minimum spanning tree contains the edge of cost 4. The 4 nodes are below, you need to draw the 4 edges and indicate their cost. a O b darrow_forwardLet G be a graph with n vertices. The k-coloring problem is to decide whether the vertices of G can be labeled from the set {1, 2, ..., k} such that for every edge (v,w) in the graph, the labels of v and w are different. Is the (n-4)-coloring problem in P or in NP? Give a formal proof for your answer. A 'Yes' or 'No' answer is not sufficient to get a non-zero mark on this question.arrow_forwardplease explain fullyarrow_forward
- Please show written work with answer!! An independent set in a graph is a set of vertices no two of which are adjacent to each other. A clique is a complete subgraph of a given graph. This means that there is an edge between any two nodes in the subgraph. The maximal clique is the complete subgraph of a given graph which contains the maximum number of nodes. We know that independent set is a NP complete problem. Transform the independent set to max clique (in polynomial time) to show that Max Clique is also NParrow_forwardTrue or False (If your answer to the question is "False", explain why, and provide correction when possible). (a) Let h(n) be the heuristics for the node n, h(m) be the heuristics for the node m, d(m,n) be the actual minimal cost from node m to n in a graph. A* satisfies the monotone restriction iff d(m,n) <= |h(n)-h(m)|. (b) If an A* heuristics is admissible then it satisfies the monotone restriction. (c) Best-first search guarantees optimality in its returned solution. (d) Least-cost-first search guarantees optimality in its returned solution. (e) If all edges are with unit cost, then Breadth-first search guarantees optimality in its returned solution.arrow_forwardShow that the decision problem version is an NP-complete problem; Exists, given a graph G and a goal cost c, a spanning tree in which the most any vertex pays is not more than c?arrow_forward
